22 September 2026

PayInRussia is a payment service designed to help foreign travelers make cashless payments across Russia easily and hassle-free. A free virtual card is issued directly on your phone in just a few minutes and can be topped up online using an international bank card. Once topped up, the balance can be used for everyday expenses: paying for taxis, cafes, restaurants, shopping, museum tickets, hotel bookings, and many other services. PayInRussia supports QR-code payments in shops and other offline locations, as well as online payments with the virtual card. You can set up the service even before your trip to pay in advance for flights, accommodation, tours, and other travel services.

How it works:

  • Follow the link or scan the QR code

  • Sign up and issue a free virtual card on your phone — it takes just a few minutes

  • Top up the card online using an international bank card

  • Pay for services via QR code or online across Russia.

You can get the card before your trip — to pay in advance for flights, accommodation, tours, and other services.
